GROUNDBREAKING!
JUNE 20, 2019
Let's do it for all the Sigs who came before us.
Honoring the past and the future by donating now
If the brothers who gathered in 1919 to open our original chapter house could look into the future to see in 2019 what we're doing with our new Centennial Chapter house, they'd be thrilled. We are carrying the torch they past down through the generations. As Brother Larry Culver has said, "we've all warmed ourselves on the fire started by others before us. Now it's our turn to add a log to that fire for Sigs who come after us." So please keep donating so we can fund the purchase, delivery and installation of all furnishings, chairs, beds, lights, desks, washer and dryers, library and chapter room amenities, landscaping, courtyard features, interior and exterior lighting, our Sigma Chi yard sign and much, much more.
​
In a hundred years, maybe they'll be writing about us, our character and our generosity.
​
Just visualize opening day August 2020 when you walk through that door and see what you helped to fund. What a joy it will be. Do it for the guys shown on this page. Do it for future Sigs. Do it for your heart.

The latest bulletin from the committee on rebuilding the Beta Upsilon Chapter House has stirred me to make one more effort to send something, besides the promise to write a prayer of thanksgiving and dedication for the groundbreaking...
​
We monks do not receive a salary... At the moment, I can afford to send you this $50.

In hoc, David Allen (class of 1952)
For whom are we building the Centennial Chapter House? For the oath we took. "And if feels good!" says Del Schwisow ('61).
1952: "PLANS HAVE BEEN MADE TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE... AND HAVE NOW FINALLY SUCCEEDED." 67 YEARS AGO!
1952 Consul Val Jensen and his beautiful wife Mary Ellen (Theta) recently reminisced that the alumni declared 67 years ago plans to build a new chapter house. It's why Val, now 90, has donated and urges you to do the same until construction is complete and doors open. Go to
Merry Christmas
Holiday Construction Update: "Absolutely thrilling..."
Hundreds of WSU Sigma Chi alums are all saying the same thing: The very sight of a new Sigma Chi house rising on our beloved California Street property is absolutely thrilling. Watch the progress live on our Centennial Construction Camera on your computer at The approximately 300 attendees at the Centennial Reunion packed the construction site, some wearing hardhats, and embracing brothers from years ago. Since the reunion, pace of construction is amazing and the contractors have winterized the building before snow falls. After we reach our financial goals, we'll open in August.

Raymond G. Munns
The original owner of this book
Just a short time after the end of WWII, a young Technical Sergeant learning Army radio operations named Raymond G. Munns inscribed his name in this
Ernie Pyle book "Brave Men." The farm boy from
Pomeroy, Washington had already fought four long
years in the Pacific including Guam and Iwo Jima,
where his little brother Ivan was killed after saving
four lives and trying to save a fifth.
Layne DeWitz, Ray's daughter, died just 35
days before her father
Ray Munns' home in Pomeroy, Washington
Ray eventually returned home where he ran an insurance company Obenland & Munns and had a very large family.In 2011, his daughter Layne died. In her obituary, it said Ray "was a strong role model and set the finest example exemplifying what integrity is." Just 34 days later, at 95, Ray also passed away. Ray was a civic leader and had a 53-year marriage to Shirley. This book made it's way to a small antique store in Pomeroy. Jeff Burnside purchased it in 2020 after which it found its way home to a place worthy of Raymond Munns and Ernie Pyle.
